Itinerary
Join us for an unforgettable snorkeling adventure along Chania’s beautiful coastline! Explore crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, fascinating rock formations, and vibrant marine life aboard one of our four boats, designed for a more personal small-group experience. Each trip includes two different snorkeling stops, selected according to the weather, sea conditions, and the day’s program. Depending on the conditions, we may visit spectacular spots such as the Blue Cave, Machairida, the Minnewaska shipwreck, Marathi island or Pervolitsa, with something new to discover on every trip. All snorkeling equipment is provided, and our experienced guide will help you feel comfortable and enjoy the experience, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced snorkeler. Swim, explore, relax, and enjoy the magic of the Cretan Sea away from the crowds. Just bring your sense of adventure!
We anchor near the beautiful Marathi area, known for its calm, clear waters and stunning coastal scenery. This is one of the best spots in the region for snorkeling — ideal for all skill levels. You'll have time to explore underwater marine life, swim at your own pace, or simply relax on the boat while enjoying the peaceful setting.
As we drive through Souda Bay, you’ll take in panoramic views of one of the largest natural harbors in the Mediterranean. You'll pass historic islets and military forts while our guide shares insights into the bay's rich naval history.

5Best $ spent on holiday.
What a blast. So much fun and the two guys were so nice and friendly. They provided wet suits mask and fines.
5Great experience
Great experience! Picked up from our hotel and snorkelled in two beautiful areas! Guides were really informative and enthusiastic, would recommend!
5Wonderful Snorkeling Experience
My wife and I booked this snorkeling experience and had an excellent time! Basil, Andrea and team were very knowledgeable and personable. We had so much fun using the DPV scooters and were able to see so much. On our tour, Andrea was very informed about the local marine life and history and was able to teach us so much about the Souda bay and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. Both my wife and I were coincidentally stung by jellyfish and Basil/Andrea were able to quickly help take care of us, which we appreciated. We could not recommend this experience more!
5We had a great time...
We had a great time snorkeling in Crete with Chania Diving! The guides were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, they made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. The color of the Mediterranean Sea is so beautiful and clear! Highly recommend doing this if you're in Crete.
5You need to do this!
I had a great time with Panos and Georgia! I had always seen photos of the blue water in Greece. This fulfilled my lifetime goal of being able to swim in it. And see fish too.
5We saw a wild octopus!! One of the top experiences of my life
One of the most PHENOMENAL and MAGICAL experiences of my life!! We saw a wild octopus, which was totally unexpected! The tour guides were the sweetest, funniest, and most professional snorkelling guides that I have experienced. They were very careful about everyone's safety, the driver was friendly, the information about the trip was very clear, and everything was just really fantastic. I don't really have any criticisms. We loved it so much that we almost booked it again the next day ^^ We'll probably visit and book it again next year!

About Chania
Chania, on Crete's north-west coast, is a Venetian harbour town of old mosques and tall houses, with mountain gorges and beaches within reach.
Chania's old harbour is a crescent of tall Venetian houses facing a stone breakwater and a lighthouse rebuilt by the Egyptians in the nineteenth century. The domed Mosque of the Janissaries stands on the quay, left from the Ottoman centuries, and behind it narrow lanes in the Splantzia and Topanas quarters pass Venetian and Ottoman houses, churches and small workshops. The cross-shaped covered market sells cheese, honey and herbs.
